Review on Centon Electronics 128GB Sport USB 2.0 DataStick (S1-U2W1-128G) by Harel Leary

These drives have a fatal error. The only thing holding the USB connector to the drive itself are 4 small soldered tabs that connect it to the internal circuit board. I've found out the hard way that accidentally hitting a USB drive while it's plugged into your computer can easily break that connection. This happened to me about 6 months ago. It was my clumsiness that caused the crack and I was able to temporarily compress it and extract all the data. I moved all data to another identical drive and was very careful not to leave it installed on my computer when not actually in use. Til today. cleaning day. This time when it broke it ripped off part of the circuitry from the board. I think I've just lost over a thousand personal photos and souvenirs. Luckily I still have all my originals and can scan them again. It only lasts a few hundred hours. :(
